Pokémon Legends: Arceus leaks shows IVs and EVs replaced by Effort Level (EL)
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is set to release on Jan. 28, 2022, but the game has leaked well ahead of its release, and a lot of information is being revealed. This includes new Pokémon, regional forms, and new mechanics. One mechanic that may shock players is the removal of IVs and EVs.
According to Centro LEAKS, the IV and EV system has been replaced with a new system called Effort Level, or EL. The leaks further detail that each Pokémon has unique base ELs, similar to IVs, and Alpha Pokémon will have extra EL. New items referred to as Grit items can increase EL, and apparently, all ELs can be maxed out.

While the leaks have been revealing a lot of information, there is likely still things that will remain a mystery until launch day. Only time will tell what these are and how this new training system will work.
